Chapter 766: The Chaotic Earth (3)
Elysia was silent for a moment, making Erina feel even more nervous.
\'Her father and grandfather are in the next room. It seems her father is not in good condition, Ely. Would you like to help him too?\' Elena scanned the surroundings and shared her observations.
\'Okay.\' Elysia stood up and looked around. She found a folding wheelchair in the corner of the room and immediately brought it near the bed.
"???" Erina just waited in silence while wondering what Elysia was going to do.
"May you allow me to take you to the next room? Your father is there with your grandfather." Elysia pointed at the life support devices.
"Mm, please take me away, Elysia-san. Thanks to you, I\'ve fully recovered… just a little weak." Erin nodded slightly. She tried to propel her body to sit up, but she didn\'t have enough strength.
"Please excuse me." Elysia removed the IV needle and various other things from Erina\'s body.
"..." Erina blushed a little, but she didn\'t put up any resistance.
Elysia then carried Erina and put the girl in a wheelchair. After that, she gave Xero an eye signal because it was time for them to leave.
"Eh?" Erina was surprised that she was completely unaware of the white-haired boy\'s presence. He was in the shadow of the corner of the room from the start.
"He is my ally, and come with me." Elysia spoke in a whisper-like voice. She revoked her soundproof barrier and pushed Erina\'s wheelchair out of the room.
"!?"
"What!?"
Several exclusive specialist doctors in the corridor were shocked when they found Erina being taken out of the emergency room by someone they didn\'t know. Erina was still in critical condition, but she suddenly regained consciousness?
When they were about to give chase, Erina was taken back into the next room, where her father, Minamoto Kenji, was being treated.
"Good day to you, Sir Minamoto Mitsuzuka." Elysia greeted warmly.
"Huh?" Mitsuzuka gasped in surprise when he heard the girl\'s pleasant voice. The guard outside was so tight, and this girl could enter casually?
*Clack*
The two men in black suits reflexively put up their defensive stance but didn\'t just move to attack the intruders.
"!?" Mitsuzuka widened his eyes when he saw that the intruders weren\'t just anyone else. However, it was his granddaughter and her friend Elysia!
"What in the world... You-you have recovered, my dear granddaughter? I just came from your room, and you are still in critical condition. It\'s truly a miracle. Is that because-" Mitsuzuka immediately approached his granddaughter, knelt before her to check her condition, and then looked at Elysia.
"Mm, I recovered immediately, thanks to Elysia-san. Otherwise, I don\'t know what might have happened to me, grandfather." Erina nodded with a happy smile.
"Thank God... Thank you for helping my granddaughter, Elysia." Mitsuzuka didn\'t care about the details. His granddaughter survived, and that was all that mattered.
"How\'s father? He\'s fine, right?" Erina held her grandfather\'s hand, but she glanced at the bed. She couldn\'t see who was lying there, but she was sure it was her father.
"..." Mitsuzuka didn\'t answer immediately because he didn\'t know how to tell.
Seeing that, Elysia heaved a subtle sigh and went to the side of the bed. A mummy-like man was lying there in a semi-sitting position.
Erina\'s father didn\'t look fine because almost half of his body was covered in severe burns, and the other half had turned gold. He was probably trying to protect Erina, but Erina\'s ability went out of control again.
Elysia took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She might be able to heal the burn, but what about the body parts that had turned gold?
\'Well, his spirit wasn\'t hurt like Erina\'s case. For the time being, we can surmise that the main target of the crash was Erina.\' Rhea began to assume. This became a mystery, but the unknown perpetrator probably expected Erina to suffer or die.
"That\'s a lie, right?" Erina widened her eyes as if not believing the truth. She interpreted Elysia\'s sigh as sad news.
"Father, you survived too, right? Please say my father can be saved too, Elysia-san!" Erina tried to stand up and rushed to her father, but her grandfather held her back. Thus, she tried to move her wheelchair, but it ended in vain.
"Why are you sobbing like the world is over, silly girl? Your father is still alive, but he\'s in pretty bad shape. Look, he\'s like a mummy covered in bandages." Elysia took a step back and pointed her hand at Erina\'s father.
"O-oh..." Erina felt a little embarrassed and covered her face with both hands. She wiped her tears and asked her grandfather to take her to her father.
"..." The two bodyguards lowered their hands and returned to guard near the exit. However, they suddenly noticed a white-haired and red-eyed boy leaning against the wall. They failed to notice this boy\'s presence until just now!
"What are you looking at? Just mind your own business. I\'m here just because of Elysia." Xero folded his arms and snorted.
"???" The two bodyguards looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. They didn\'t know what language this boy was speaking, but they knew the word Elysia was there. So, this boy came with Elysia.
Erina looked at her father, who was lying injured on the bed. She didn\'t really know how her father\'s condition was. Still, it was not good because his entire body was wrapped in bandages.
She then looked at Elysia with a look full of hope. Unfortunately, Elysia was staring out the window, watching the rainstorm.
"This room is not soundproof, or is it too loud outside?" Elysia wondered.
*Bam!*
The door suddenly opened with several expert doctors among them. An old female doctor walked in as if it was her own room.
However, she suddenly froze when she discovered that Erina was already in good condition, just like what these exclusive doctors had told her.
"Ishimoto Utzuki-sama?" An expert doctor asked as the Grandmaster suddenly froze at the entrance.
"This is a miracle... Miracle! Minamoto Erina was previously in a coma with less than a one percent chance of regaining consciousness. Still, she managed to win over that tiny possibility!" The old Grandmaster spoke in a loud tone.
"With all due respect, you are so noisy, lady doctor. We didn\'t expect all of you to come at this time. Can you all come out now?" Elysia glanced back and asked casually, but her words sounded offensive.
"Young people nowadays don\'t have the manners of speaking with the elder. Don\'t you know who I am, girl? That\'s why your era is a regress." Utzuki frowned, but she just sighed and shook her head.
"The old generation like you are too arrogant and self-centered. You scream in an exclusive room without thinking about the patient\'s condition." Elysia gave an eye signal to Erina and Mitsuzuka. She didn\'t want the presence of a third party to interfere at this time.
"..." Erina also looked at her grandfather.
"My apologies, dear doctors. However, we are in a private conversation at a private time. Please give us time to discuss a few things." Mitsuzuka pointed his hand towards the exit. He signalled his trusted bodyguards to guide all the doctors out of the room.
"Wait, I have to check on Erina\'s condition right now. We don\'t know what exactly happened to her sudden recovery, but that might be explained in science and alchemy knowledge!" Utzuki shouted the reason for her arrival, but the two burly bodyguards led the doctors out and closed the door.
*Snap*
Elysia sealed the room with a barrier plus a soundproof effect. She didn\'t want to be disturbed by the noise of the rainstorm, let alone the grumbling old doctors.
The room somehow fell into silence. No one spoke for a few seconds for their own reasons.
"Gulp..." Erina didn\'t know why, but this silence made her nervous. Not to mention, the rainstorm outside could no longer even be heard.
However, she mustered the courage to break the silence by conveying her request. "Elysia-san, is it possible for you to heal my father? This may sound presumptuous, but I know you are a healer or perhaps a saint. You managed to save me from death\'s door, and I owe you a life, but please save my father. Tell me what I need to do for you to save my father."
"It seems someone didn\'t want me to come back, and you were the only way for me to come here. However, fate said otherwise, and you were saved. I\'m willing to save your father, but his condition makes me feel complicated." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh and sat on a stool beside the bed.
"Just tell me the price or your condition, and you\'ll get it immediately. Please save my son. If possible, restore him whole." Mitsuzuka went straight to the point and asked in clear sentences.
Unfortunately, Elysia just ignored that and continued her speech. "I sacrificed a fragment of my life to restore Erina\'s injured spirit and body. However, Sir Kenji is a man, and I lack the confidence to heal him because of my inexperience and his unique condition. It\'s like forming new body parts, right?"
"Then-" Mitsuzuka felt disappointed and somewhat gloomy when he heard that. He was fully aware of Elysia\'s ability because of the event in the underworld. This girl was literally capable of bringing someone back to life!
However, forming new organs was a completely different story. Parts of the body that had already become gold couldn\'t be returned to their original state.
Erina didn\'t really understand her father\'s situation and Elysia\'s words. Still, her grandfather looked sad, and that made her sad too. Maybe, her request was too much?
"Fret not. I have some techniques to cure Sir Kenji. However, there are some things I need to ask you first, Sir Mitsuzuka." Elysia smiled faintly as she waved her hand in front of her face.
"You made me feel hopeless for a moment, Elysia. Tell me, what is it that you want to know from us? If it is about what has happened in the world since your departure, then you can find them all here. All those files are classified documents. and top-class military reports." Mitsuzuka took out a laptop from his briefcase and gave it to Elysia.
"Thank you for your understanding." Elysia took the laptop and turned it on. However, she was hindered by a digital security system. "Uhm, how to access this military-grade laptop? This thing is protected by a strict security system, right?"
"Oh, you\'re right. I almost forgot." Mitsuzuka took his laptop back, scanned his fingerprint and retina, and opened a folder. After that, he handed his laptop to Elysia again.
He didn\'t mind if Elysia saw the detailed data regarding everything that had happened in this world in the past month. It was much faster than explaining in words. Maybe, this girl could pull something like a miracle again.
